The iron stairs raise their heads with all their might, ready to ascend into the sky.
The struggle towards Sambulbong begins.
The stairs, which are like acrobatics, lean against a precarious cliff, are a thousand-foot cliff below, so just looking at them sends a thrilling shiver down your body.
By simply climbing, it is impossible to access the impregnable terrain, and with the help of modern technology, a nearly vertical iron staircase has been built.

White clouds rise from the clear sky.
The coolness alone, regardless of the view or the humidity, makes me feel good.
The midsummer mountain, surrounded by mist and a quiet atmosphere, is as peaceful as wandering in a dream.

The natural time burns the season ecstatically in the heart of autumn without a single moment of deviation.
Even though they have poured out their last soul, each insignificant leaf that disappears into nameless fallen leaves without even being able to dye its color beautifully is a part of Mother Nature and a protagonist who creates this beautiful autumn.
Having completed my 75th mountain challenge in this bountiful season, with nothing lacking, and now with only one quarter of homework left, my heart is as full as Nongshim's autumn harvest.

Unable to bear even a fleeting moment, people of all ages, men and women, known and unknown, huddle together in one place to block the bitter wind, risking their pride and rudeness to be grateful for the warmth of the person next to them.

Dark gray clouds hung low over the ridge.
On the ridge, a bitter winter wind hits your face and seeps into your clothes.
I turn up the buff to the max and my sunglasses start to fog up.
On the hiking trail, dried weeds dance against their will, their whole bodies exposed to the wind.
This is the perfect cold wind for this winter.
